ChickShaw – A Mobile Chicken Coop One Person Can Easily Move

Chances are your chickens are way overdue for a move. Most people keep their chickens in a classic coop and run, but that just so happens to be one of the most labor-intensive and unsanitary methods for housing chickens.

Since the 19th-century people have been moving things with rickshaws. By centering most of the “shaws” weight on the center of gravity of the two wheels and pulling the front, it’s easy to move incredible amounts of weight.

Accommodating a range of flock sizes, it’s now possible to move a lot of birds regularly with an electric poultry net and my famous ChickShaw. Before now, mobile chicken housing was limited to tiny house chicken tractors and mobile-home sized coops.

My DIY ChickShaw plan provides shelter for chickens all year long, and it’s so lightweight that it takes only one person to move it all over your homestead. I’ve built in several additional design features that will make everyone’s life a bit easier.
